Interesting fact
The 2 Pfennigs coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria, minted between 1830 and 1835, features an image of King Louis I on one side and the Bavarian coat of arms on the other. It was made of copper and has a diameter of 23.5 mm. Interestingly, this coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany, with the country undergoing rapid industrialization and political unification. Despite these changes, the coin remained in circulation until the end of the German Empire in 1918. Today, it is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians interested in the history of Germany and its currency.
